he saw a revolt among his house republicans and republicans across the united states, just for saying it. now john boehner is doing a little backtracking. he wrote in the cincinnati enquirer, his hometown newspaper, the president's health care law adds a massive, expensive, unworkable government program at a time when our national debt already exceeds the size of our country's entire economy. we can't afford it and we can't afford to leave it intact. so try as they might, remember the last congress republicans passed a lot of bills out of the house of representatives that tore apart obama care. as even the president calls it now. they didn't go anywhere in the senate and meanwhile, alex, after the thanksgiving break, the principles are expected to get back together to begin negotiating in earnest. as you're right the clock is ticking. just a little bit more than one month to go before the nation heads over that fiscal cliff. al alex? >> 38 days and counting. thanks so much. let's go from the white house to the middle east now. palestinians and israelis are keeping a cease-fire alive.

on the capital gains tax, remember, we in the united states we tax income when you earn it. if you save it in the bank you pay taxes on interest. if you buy stock with it you pay corporate income taxes, you pay corporate capital gains taxes. if the stock goes up you pay capital gains taxes if you're stupid enough to die, they want to steal half. so announcing that you're not going to be taxing the dollar that you earned today five times in the future doesn't mean it's not taxed. it just means it isn't double and triple taxed. >> that's assuming you earned the money yourself it wasn't inherited obvious-. if you inherit the money and live off cap gains and hardly pay any taxes. earlier you spelled out what conservatives should be looking for in a presidential candidate. let's listen to you, grover. >> okay. >> we just need a president to sign this stuff. we don't need someone to think it up or design it. so focus on electing the most conservative republican who can win in each house seat. and the most conservative republican who can win in each senate seat. and then pick a rep
